NFL reportedly investigating official for domestic violence accusation

The NFL is reportedly investigating current official and former vice president of officiating, Carl Johnson, for an allegation of domestic violence. As first reported by TMZ Sports, Johnson, who denied the allegation, is accused of injuring a 49-year-old woman he was living with in Louisiana in December.

TMZ Sports also reported that the woman was granted a temporary restraining order, but not a permanent restraining order. Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana told TMZ Sports that the case is still under investigation.

Regardless of what happens legally, Johnson could face punishment from the league.
